Lucious had a lot of interesting things to say about Stella Glow, that's on my radar now.

Same here. I hadn't even heard of it before that review, but I'm likely to pick it up now.

For real. Though I seem to be a sucker for any game with social links. It's like crack to me. Fire Emblem, Danganronpa, Mass Effect/Dragon Age. Even in Fallout 4, I've been spending more time trying to do stuff with my companions than anything else.

I need to get back around to my playthrough of Persona 3.... social links. They're a helluva drug.

I'm getting Battlefront but to honest I don't know if it has legs. One reason I've spent so much time in BO3 is I can grind through the multiplayer modes to unlock weapons and specialists, each one that can seem different than the others. The beta of Battlefront had weapons that seemed like slight variants upon each other and no real weapon progress like CoD has and I miss that in a MP focused game. Halo 5 was kinda the same for me, you could only use the Req cards in the warzone mode and I struggled to even get enough points to spawn with a weapon variant and that was usually at the end of a match so no real time to use any unlocks you got so overall each game felt the same to me since I had the same weapons each time.

Since March I've only bought Batman. However in the last couple of weeks I've dropped money for FIFA 16, NHL 16, Fallout 4, and now Battlefront. I think that has to be it until the new year. Not enough time to play all of these.

Battlefront is all ready to go on the PC. First new game I've bought at release since, I dunno, Civ V maybe?

I don't buy a lot of new games on release day anymore.

Wait, I remember the last one!

It was Beyond Earth.

Hopefully this is a better experience. I played through BE once and never touched it again.

Look me (corporalgeo) and Ron (I think just "gamingtrend"?) up on Origin -- we each got the Star Wars Battlefront PC version yesterday -- I'm sure we could use some more PC Battlefront players to team with. Or, to die alongside with.

I enjoyed Mass Effect 3 co-op with a few folks here some years ago, I'm hoping maybe some of them will get Battlefront and we can reconnect, but I understand for sure having reservations about it or wanting to wait for a sale price. Just the single player stuff I played last night was a blast, and it was fun both to play and gawk at.

It's a turned-based squad-level fantasy mercenary band simulator set in the Games Workshop Warhammer Universe. I purchased it during Early Access and played around with a bit this summer and enjoyed it. Although I haven't played it since they added the persistent campaign, so I can't give it a full evaluation. It got decent reviews in Early Access, and a lot of folks on OO and Qt3 have enjoyed it.

It's been compared to a Fantasy XCom, since your squad members level up and gain equipment, get injured (in true Warhammer fashion, they can lose limbs and eyes, so you might have an old grizzled veteran with a high level, but stumping about on a wooden leg and with a patched eye. you manage them, decide who to send out, and the difficulty is apparently pretty brutal (although they were working on tuning it, so it will be interesting to see where it ends up for the release version).

Your warband can be one of the following: Human Mercenaries from the Empire, Skaven from Clan Eshin, The Cult of the Possessed, and The Sisters of Sigmar. I'm hoping it does well, so we can get more of them.

If you're considering getting it soon you should probably grab it before official release, since the price is supposed to go up 20% once it officially releases. It's a bit on the pricey side for a PC game now, but from what I've seen is IMO worth it, but it will get quite pricey once the Early Access discount ends. Currently $31.99, £23.99, 31,99Ä. Release prices will be $39,99, £29,99, Ä39,99.

I've been on a kick lately of trying to find some fun gaming things that Little B 6.5 and I can do together. Grabbed Mario Kart 8 (with a Wii remote and goofy little steering wheel thing) today. Can't wait to see how she responds.

Anyone know of a good local co-op 3DS game? I'll be gifting her my old one for Christmas.

Heard some kinda good things about Tri Force Heroes? Might be decent for co-op.

Also, I recently played Yo-Kai Watch and seriously - that is the kid's game for the holidays. It's really fun and I'm sure any kid would have a blast with it.
